However, you need to declare the video is for teaching and learning purpose only and copyright free. It is more safe to view TeacherTube in classroom.

Here is a video from TeacherTube. It is a quick look about a street in Nanjing, with the viewpoint from Western people. They descirbed this as a teaching material in school.

究竟多少次一個人可以轉過頭再扮作什麼都看不見？

認識 Serrini 當然不是因為 “ 蘇菲亞的波霸珍珠奶茶 ” 。數年前聽到 “ Don’t Text Him ”, 已驚訝她的夢幻旋律及浪漫詞句。到看到 “ 若葉之年 ” 的 MV, 不單詞曲攝人，日本生活畫面片斷令人沉醉。之後在 YouTube 再發現她的的古靈精怪歌曲 :   同一 種 米養百 樣 人為什麼養出你這個賤人 我的志願是做個濶太 油尖旺金毛玲 放棄治療   後來發現她畢業於中大英文系，是港大博士生兼助教，兼獨立創作歌手。   怪怪的人，但看了香港電台 “ 時代的紀錄 - 鏗鏘說： Serrini”, 原來世界比這人更奇怪。中學時她給指示不准跑不准跳，乖乖的什麽也不准，變成現今怪怪的什麽也試，你想像不到她偏偏去創造。她的歌曲充满黑色頹廢卻走去幼稚園、教堂開 Concert,  更怪的是走上國内開廣東話演唱會， 唯一 遺憾 是給勸喻不能唱 “ 油尖旺金毛 玲” 和“ 日 沒前” 。 很喜歡港台這節目 “ 時代的紀錄 - 鏗鏘說： Serrini” ，由 Rubber Band 主音 6 號主持，同是香港中文大學畢業，同是歌手，一同坐在聯合書院草地上，重溫多年港台紀錄片，檢視廣東話、流行曲、廢青和香港的無力感。   重溫片段出現有年青黎彼徳、花樣汪明荃、日做夜做迷失生活女侍應和聲沙力竭呼喊人生不滿的 band 友，最後 Serrini 結語 Bob Dylan 的改變，帶出香港人的無力感。 “ 日沒前 ” 是 Serrini 寫出她如何面對這種無力感，另一種方式的參與。   “ 你問我將來點 你問我都唔知 我想代替月亮懲罰你哋 漫步水面 所有置諸不理 儆惡懲奸 全部要死 我想代替葉問懲罰你哋 言辭帶刺不顧忌 末日參加這個不歸的遊戲 ”   很多上一輩人士不滿現今年青人，認為年青人對社會什麼也反對，彷彿要活到他們的年紀才有資格不滿和反對。其實年輕人代表很濶的光譜，有人示威抗議，有人破壞，有人什麼也不參與，自己作曲填詞怪雞地唱出社會的問題。如果這怪人是高學歷博士生，究竟是她怪還是社會出了問題才會有一群不同光譜的怪雞年輕人？   最怪雞的結尾是 6 號和 Serrini 用木結他唱 Bob Dylan 的 “ 吹吹在風中 ” 。     ...

Last week I attended HKU CITE 2010 symposium on the topic about Learning 2.0. One of the secondary teachers presented a freeware IE plugin Diigo which can highlight webpages and make annotation. He applied the tool for students make note of online newspaper reading and then students can share and categorize each other annotation on news. It is a wonderfull tool for teaching Liberal Studies. http://www.diigo.com/09rpk

Stephen Heppell: Railway as school, going the wrong way

Hong Kong people are having hot debate on building a great railway costing 68 billion. The so called Post 80 (those born after 80') strongly against the railway as it is too expensive and not necesary. Stephen Heppell, famous ICT scholar, gave a speech about Learning at 2016, mentioned that a few years ago UK built a perfect railway but however, people brought their own cars. Stephen mentioned our school is same as the railway, mobile learning is having great breakthrough on learning while we still regard our school as a perfect railway. Part of Stephen's speech is attached as some hints about railway, school and the pattern of post 80 learning. Full version of Stephen speech http://www.teachers.tv/video/4957
